When he returns from a hunting trip, Steven’s faced with five police officers, who “Want to talk.” Plagued by two unsolved murders, the Department is searching for answers.
The conversation comes to a deafening halt as the team finds a bloody crime scene in the bridal suite. "Where's her body?" is a question Steven cannot fathom.

This Steven Quaid mystery is both personal and heartbreaking.

At one time Alaska called to me and I answered. I learned to sleep under the midnight sun, survive in below zero temperatures, and hike the Mountain Ranges. I've traveled from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez, and the memories are some of my most valued. The wonders, mysteries, and incredible beauty that is Alaska has never left me and thus now influence my writing.
Despite my adventurous spirit, I achieved my educational goals, married, and I have two wonderful sons. Writing is now my focus, my newest adventure!

ReplyDeleteWas that pun intentional, Alex? :P
DeleteThe artist, Dan Verkys did an amazing job!
Thanks Alex, it is isn't it!
DeleteThanks a million, Clare!
ReplyDeleteYou do a magnificent job for CQ and for all the authors!
This is beyond the call of duty!
This story sounds both thrilling and scary. Is this a mystery or a horror novel? Sounds great though, congrats Yolanda.
ReplyDeleteIt's more of a mystery than horror this time. The second novel was closer to horror, I tried to stay away from that this time. Sort of shocked folks. Good thing or bad, I'm not sure, but Stephan King has always been a favorite!
DeleteOh and the 'official' release date is March 10th!!
